In some areas of the PRSE of Madrid there have been done extensive reforestations of pines. Despite not being the best to conserve and restore the native ecosystems, these pine trees offer us, in the rare snowfalls occurring in this region (one or two every several years), prized winter scenes (3).

Large poplar trees in one of the most protected areas in the PRSE of Madrid, in the enclave known as Caserio del Henares, to which public access is not allowed. I was fortunate to be allowed to visit it with the purpose of making some pictures.
